I would suggest Markdown. It may be a bit geeky (I'm a programmer/designer.), but it's what I write everything in now. It's a minimal syntax markup that you write in plain text, and then can convert it to HTML, and others. It's often used by bloggers, since a lot of the blogging software out there will let you write in Markdown, and then the blog system will convert it to the correct HTML to display on one's blog.

Mr. Gruber created this, and here's the syntax page: daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
You'd need an editor that understands Markdown and can convert it to other things (HTML/PDF), and I use Scrivener. It's so good. Export to many formats from Markdown. It can "compile" your plaintext work in Markdown into other formats.
